A Teamwork and Resilience focused activity incorporating goal setting strategies and reflection during and upon completion of an unfamiliar task. Two students board a windsurfer and attempt to manoeuvre it using the wind from the shore and return from the launch spot. The students need to work through the safe procedures and practices when involved in wind sailing and associated powerboat activities.
Individuals develop the confidence and self-assurance aspects of resilience when placed in an “unforgiving” environment – the water!
Team work skills are highlighted as the students work with each other to achieve their various goals encountered throughout the duration of the activity.
Specific seamanship and safety spotting related skills are employed throughout the activity coupled with the awareness of leisure and a variety of similar social activities.
